If I ever had to use Framemaker again, I'd go with Classroom in a Book by the Adobe Team. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0321131681/ref=pd_bbs_olp_2/104-9 440989-3369518?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193925012&sr=8-2 I'd probably also buy the "for dummies" Framemaker book. Caution -- if you buy a used copy, make sure it includes the CD! Dori Green
